I use SelfControl quite frequently for completing homework and such, but at school, while I was away from my keyboard at the white board, my friend thought it would be funny to set the timer to 10 hours. I am currently using a proxy to ask this question. Is there any way to disable this useful, but inflexible application?

As a note, you should have your computer to ask for a password before making changes. So when I activate my self control program, i have to put my password in first. This will prevent unauthorized of the program.

I have the # BEGIN SELFCONTROL BLOCK and # END SELFCONTROL BLOCK. What should I do now?

Delete the entire block and save the file. There probably be IP numbers and sites addresses inside the block. if you put: 127.0.0.1 facebook.com for example it will be blocked

On the other side, changing the Date or Time worked perfectly for me! All you gotta do is change your date to something in the future, for example if today is Sep 4 you can change your system date to something like Sep 5 !

You open Preferences Open Date & Time

Change the date to something like Sep 5 or any date in the future.

Open SelfControl, the countdown will be gone now.

Try opening a website that you blocked with selfControl! if it does work! then it's all you gotta do ... otherwise try changing the date back to the original date (Sept 4) for example, and try again opening the website that you blocked with SelfControl!
